Much as I dislike MapInfo, that comparison is stacked against the software. Not only is a very old version being used (He's using MapInfo 7.8, apparently released in Sept 2004!!!! ( http://www.sgsi.com/Prod_Soft_MIPro_78.asp)), on top of which its being run in WINE too, which will hardly improve the reliability.
I don't doubt QGIS would do well against a modern MapInfo deployment, but lets not be disingenuous here, comparing a 7 year old product to a few week old one isn't exactly going to convince naysayers.
